can my transmission survive 150 shot on a 400 hp car? in about a month i should have a full bolt on car with a f14 cam on a 114 lsa. so its just a estimate im sure i'll only make maybe 375 - 385 but lets just say 400 hp for fun.
i read somewhere that a auto's trans can handle up to 500 hp, thats why im curious if my car can handle a 150 shot otherwise im just gonna stick with a 100 shot.

I blew mine tranny up with a TNT 100 shot. My n/a hp numbers in sig. Never had it on the dyno with nitrous.

My advice- sell your trans now while it's in good working order- that will cover the lion's share of the cost of a 350 or 400.
Don't want to sound all gloom and doom, but I don't want to be unrealistic either.

My stock tranny lasted about 56k miles and went out a few months after my cam, a year after converter and four years/35k miles after i bought it.
The new one is still acting perfectly, been about 1200 miles and 15 track passes so far.
Gotta treat it nice, especially the WOT downshifts and temps.

i have the same cam, and a 150-250 shot.. and i plan for it to hold.. ive rebuilt it once.. stock will last a lil while, but prolly give out over many passes as mine did the first time.. no biggie, cost me about 400$ and i did it myself
